  1. Some white Canadians are neo-Nazi Christian terrorists too. https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/news/2023/two-ontario-men-arrested-terrorism-charges
  2. Then why are you bringing up the colour of their skin as the issue? @blackbird“Caucasians not having enough children is an issue” @TreeBeard “Why does it matter if they’re white?” @blackbird ”Skin colour doesn’t matter”. Do you see how stupid that is?
  3. How do you think they should go about getting a precise count? Between 0.05% and 1.25% of people in Canada are undocumented. Sorry if I don’t set my hair on fire. What does this mean? Why is it important that the skin colour of Canadians remains static? I have a white friend who married an Asian-looking lady (she was born in Canada) and they have kids that don’t have white skin. Why is that an issue? Are these kids less Canadian than if their skin was white?
  4. If only we had some facts on how immigration affects crime rates…. Oh wait, we do. And it’s great news! https://crdcn.ca/publication/immigration-and-crime-evidence-from-canada/ …new immigrants do not have a significant impact on the property crime rate, but with time spent in Canada, a 10% increase in the recent-immigrant share or established-immigrant share decreases the property crime rate by 2% to 3%. Neither underreporting to police nor the dilution of the criminal pool by the addition of law-abiding immigrants can fully explain the size of the estimates. This suggests that immigration has a spillover effect, such as changing neighbourhood characteristics, which reduces crime rates in the long run. Where do you get your crime stats for this assertion?
  5. If one party can stack the court, why shouldn’t the other party do the same? And downvoting posts? I find that rude.
  6. Biden should have added 5 more judges when the Dems had control.
  7. If you don’t compare actual facts and figures, then you’re just making judgements based on feelings. What good is it to say “Canada’s inflation rate is driving me out of the country” without comparing that rate with other countries?
  8. I have to question your definition of stability. Participation in the Rwandan genocide. Millions dead from civil war. Where exactly was the stability you speak of?
  9. Norway has big companies with CEOs that smoke cigars and drink expensive whisky. But they do so while making 10x less than American executives. https://partner.sciencenorway.no/bi-business-forskningno/a-culture-of-smaller-wage-differences/1385445#:~:text=Norwegian top executives have to,salary of a top executive. Canadian executives’ pay is closer to the salary of their American counterparts. https://globalnews.ca/news/10191926/top-ceo-pay-canada-2024/#
  10. The right’s heads exploded when minimum wage goes up by a few cents. So you’re in favour of the workers making more than CEOs? That’s what is happening in the scenario you describe. I would be happy with workers making 5% of what CEOs make.
  11. ? Did I not say it came from Christian traditions mixed with pagan traditions and is now mostly secular? What percentage of folks in Canada do you think celebrate Xmas as a Christian holy day? 5% would probably be a generous figure. Xmas trees are not Christian in origin, are they?
  12. Happy Holidays!

    1. Army Guy

      Happy holidays to you and your family. 

  13. In Canada, Christmas is a secular holiday that stems from British religious traditions. These Christian traditions stole many pagan traditions to try and work these other cultures into theirs. Disagree?
  14. I’m interested in discussion, not to watching silly YouTube videos as a response.
  15. You’re losing your sh!t. Have you been drinking again? Can you support Palestinians without supporting Hamas?
  16. No one said there was. The OP wants to ban protests they disagree with.
  17. With whom? How? Be specific.
  18. Online types? So some far left social justice warriors who yap online but hold no real political power? Uninteresting.
  19. So because you disagree with them, their Charter rights should be removed?
  20. The US has no left party. The only party I hear identity politics from is Republicans setting their hair on fire over bathroom use, and silly crap like that. Maybe I’m not paying enough attention to Biden? What’s he saying, other than people should be treated the same regardless of their gender, orientation, colour, etc? Was it identity politics to give women the vote? Should they not have done that because it upsets conservatives “
  21. It is very fast! Thanks @Greg
  22. What new technology are you referring to? (Please don’t say SMRs…. those are nowhere near to existing as an alternative; they’re science fiction). Nuclear already exists. It’s hella expensive and has severe long term waste issues.
  23. Why not have him killed, if he’s immune from prosecution?
